The Andover Arms in Hammersmith and Fulham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Such a great place whether it’s for a full meal or just drinks and snacks :) always high quality food and such friendly people there!

Disappointing. It feels like a lovely local pub, but…….. Whilst the staff are pleasant, they are distinctly unconcerned. We ate reasonably well in general but there were serious issues that were greeted with a shrug. I had moules to start and they were perfect, I could not have hoped for better. The problems came with my main. My main was a steak. I ordered it to be “somewhere between medium-rare and properly French rare”. Ie still bloody but have that lovely change of texture when it ceases to be raw- just. I went to great lengths to stress that the chef should err on the side of less cooking if in doubt. I joked about making sure it was not cooked to death and I understood that British people liked their steaks more cooked than their continental neighbours . I said that my steak should be prepared as if it were for a French person and not, under any circumstances, over-cooked. What I received was comfortably “medium”, even by UK standards. It was a minimum of two grades more cooked than the order specified. It was maybe even well-done, definitely solid grey instead of pink. I didn’t ask to send it back as it would have disrupted the flow of the table but it was not edible. My dog appreciated the expensive and overcooked addition to his day. When I highlighted that this was not what I requested, the response was a shrug and “I’ll tell the chef”. There was no apology, no offer to fix, no acknowledgement that indeed I had gone to considerable lengths explaining that this plate of food was precisely what I had asked not to receive. It was a really disappointing yet still expensive experience and I doubt I will eat there again. My dog is happy though! It is very sad to see a place like this get such basic things incredibly wrong.

The staff were friendly and approachable, the food was of good quality (perhaps they could have used a little more in quantity). Prices, as with everything in London, a little high

If I only could leave 10 stars out of 5, I’d do so! 🥰 It’s a lovely local pub with charm and character. The food is great, the drinks are superb, the staff is beyond and over 😍 People working here are making this place even more special 😇 I’ll be coming here with pleasure again and again 🤍

Our favorite roast in Hammersmith. Nice sized portions and delicious food

Lovely little pub in a quiet street just a couple of minutes walk from Hammersmith station. Sunday roast with all the trimmings was great as was the friendly service.

Cozy little pub in a quaint neighborhood. Tucked away but close to several tube stops. Tasty ales and nice food options.

One of my favorite pub meals in London. The food is ALWAYS exceptional and a great wine list as well.

Wonderful pub - Great selection of drinks, delicious food, and friendly staff. We're lucky to have you guys in the area. Keep up the good work!

Beautiful atmosphere very friendly people.. The food ...what can I say?Just excellent.. Will defo be going back..

One of the best Sunday Roast in London

Great spot for families. Outstanding burger.

The Andover Arms, nestled in the heart of Hammersmith, is a true gem in London's bustling pub scene. With its rich history dating back to the 1880s, this traditional public house offers a cozy retreat with a modern English menu that has a delightful Mediterranean twist. Patrons rave about the quality and taste of the food, especially the Sunday roast and vegan nut-roast, which are local favorites. The service is consistently described as warm and welcoming, making everyone feel like a part of the Andover family. The desserts, particularly the bread & butter pudding and crumble pie with berries, receive high praise for their generous portions and delicious flavors. Whether you're a London local or just visiting, The Andover Arms on Aldensley Road is a must-visit spot for an authentic British pub experience.

Burger and fish and chips are so good!Good portion, burst of flavours and hot on plate! Excellent service and vibe as well.

The best Service I’ve had in a London pub for years. Cannot fault the team. Lunch was superb. Will definitely be coming back.

Shhhh..... Best kept secret in Brackenbury Village. Staff and food tops. The selection of Fullers ales is top notch with superior cask conditioning.

Great pub, perfect Sunday roast and all the staff were fantastic.

Great food & atmosphere. Could be more veggie options though.

Cosy atmosphere where you can wine and dine with the locals. Lovely spot.

Delicious Sunday roast, great portion sizes, amazing service. Will definitely be coming back!

Really lovely local pub! Have been a couple times since moving into the area and love it. The service is really great and friendly, the food is very high standard, and the atmosphere is like getting a warm hug from someone you love. A little expensive but you can’t fault the quality of this pub!

Went to the Arms for a Christmas lunch with a mate. Scallops, followed by Tomahawk steak with all the trimmings. Both cooked perfectly. Had a great London Pride pint to start and then great recommendations from the team on both the white and the red. Sat by the fire in the backroom and didn't leave till 6. Proper pub - but with gastro-pub food. And very friendly and professional service. A brilliant find. Am coming back soon.

A beautiful local pub - warm, friendly and with absolutely excellent staff. Really nice ambience, especially so close to Christmas, and their festive menu was delicious.

Such a lovely sunday lunch. They accommodated my large family including young children and could not have been more welcoming, friendly, and warm. Delicious food, fantastic service, couldnt have been more impressed!

My favourite Sunday Roast…in West London 🙏🏽

It is phantastic local pub with great staffs, drinks and meals. I can recommend it.

Lovely little pub, nice selection of drinks, friendly staff and great food. What more can you ask for?!

Very good food! Very local and cozy atmosphere, a bit apart from everything else around, but highly recommended to drop by

Great food - nice menu of high quality, good selection of starters and the desserts are delicious.

went through a bad patch but back on form. really great to see...

I cannot recommend this lovely pub enough - they've given shelter from the storm countless times, provided a delicious drop and a glorious bite to eat! The service is outstanding, filled with delightful, interesting people who, in my experience, go beyond the extra mile to look after you. Never tasted a better Guinness anywhere else. I've been lucky enough to eat here (several times) and my god, THIS was what i call food. You can taste that a real amount of care and detail goes into the menu items. (I always get the chocolate fondant!) Overall, I know where my favourite pub in London is - Its here. The Andover Arms. I cant wait to go back. In fact, Im probably about to head there to now!

Long story short, it seemed to me that I was served whatever food was left and shoved into one plate to charge me £23 which I found disingenuous. I literally wasted £67, two roast dinner and two drinks. Do not recommend this pub for a meal at all. The service was very nice, everyone was polite, friendly and professional. I visited here on a Sunday evening, around 17:30. They literally didn’t have anything we wanted at that point, even dessert, which was totally fine as I knew it was pretty late for Sunday roast. However, the whole experience was way worse than I anticipated. First of all, I wasn’t impressed with the quality of meat, the beef had quite a bit of gristles (I mean A LOT relative to the portion size). On top of that, one of the slices had large fat so literally the edible part was very little. It was really tough to cut (impossible with the most useless knife ever in my entire life) and very dry on the edges. The cabbage…it was awful. Literally impossible to consume. Even in the photo, you can tell how hard it was. Why did they even serve something inedible on the plate? The potatoes….OH MY GOD. This bothered me the most. Literally the potatoes were as dry as left over chips from a previous day (literally), but with a THICK BURNT bottom 🎉 Had I even had an experience where I couldn’t cut my potatoes at all? Not until this occasion. Literally speechless. Yorkshire pudding, it was like frozen ones. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was. I would be surprised if a professional chef made it. They didn’t bother warm it up either, a cold dry puff. Gravy, literally meh. No flavour or depth, not salty enough for me when the meat wasn’t properly seasoned. Very watery. I genuinely don’t see the point of coming to this pub for a meal when there’s a way better, maybe one of the best gastro pubs just around the corner. I’m sorry but it’s just unbelievable…the audacity to serve such poor quality food. Very unprofessional and way too overpriced for such poor standards.

We went yesterday for the first time just for drinks and love the pub,very friendly and kindness the girl who serve us..next time we go for eat as well try the caldo verde . Thank you so much .

Great little local pub. Use to be my father's local. Great menu, brilliant atmosphere quite a few events over the year. Recommended.

Steak night was one to remember. Highly recommend. Delicious fillets, and the service from start to finish so friendly and accommodating. Fabulous!

The Andover is a propa booza. Fantastically kind and knowledgable staff. I once looked so hungry I was given some Yorkshire puddings and a bowl of gravy free of charge. Propa booza.

A wonderful Gastro Lindon pub great service excellent food

Wow! What an amazing pub. Fantastic staff, wonderful food and amazing atmosphere. 10/10.

Persistently permits patrons to drink and talk outside very late at night in this quiet residential neighbourhood. Right now it is after midnight and there are customers outside talking and drinking, doubtless in contravention of the licence. Other pubs restrict outside drinking after 10pm to avoid disturbing the neighbours. This pub's neighbours have to suffer waking children and noise.

Such a cute little pub, stumbled upon it by accident and will now travel here on purpose for many more nights to come. What a hidden gem.

Had the best time! Will is the sweetest and funniest staff member ! Food iconic, drinks excellent

Good food, good drinks and good vibes. What more can you ask for

We absolutely loved everything we ordered and wish we had room for more food. We can’t wait to return. Our daughter loved the pasta bolognaise! Thank you for a lovely Friday night! See you soon.

Impeccably maintained, clean. Warm, friendly welcome from every staff member as if I'd already visited in a past life...Cask ales well maintained, no wait at the bar. As far as food goes, I ate the oysters and octopus (fresh and well priced) then a hefty burger, not over-cooked as many are in these parts. Landlords even passed through while I sat near the bar and seemed to have an awesome village vibe going on with the locals. A welcome antidote to the managed houses I come across far too often. Keep up the example to others!

Love this place. Such a treat to the village. Will is always a delight!

The most welcoming and helpful staff. Could not rate highly enough!

Wonderful homey pub with excellent staff. The talented chefs make miracles in the tiny kitchen/closet. The Sunday roast was amazing. Lamb rump with roasted veg and a house made mint sauce that is simply perfect. The jamon iberico croquetas and the gazpacho (a new addition to the menu) were absolutely delicious, as well. A true hidden gem.

I love this place. Its a quiet little pub. Staff are great. Good selection of beers. The tomahawk steak is killer. Its my local, so I'm down here fairly regularly.

One of the loveliest pubs I've ever been to! Landlord was incredibly friendly and attentive. The pork scratchings are a must-have!

After a few management changes in the last few years, this pub is now back to its best. The food is excellent, the staff and service top notch. Friendly locals, a true hidden gem. I can't recommend enough.

My husband and I had our last dinner in The UK at your amazing restaurant before jetting back to The USA. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, from start to finish. The service was attentive, friendly, and willing to answer all of our questions! If it wasn’t such a long walk, we’d go back tonight!

Excellent cote de boeuf. Authentic local atmosphere. Loved it.

Nice early evening Gin and Tonic with a fab portion of crackling !!

The service and atmosphere are okay, the food is overpriced and the mains we ordered are way too salty. (halibut)

Good atmosphere. Horrible food that is way over priced and overly salted. Burnt halibut for £28? A salted Oreo donut for £3 is more satisfying. And apparently “discretionary service charge” means mandatory.

After a solid first visit for Sunday lunch, our follow-up appointment was rather disappointing. By 1:30pm on Sunday the kitchen had run out of pork, so a number of our party had to choose alternate options. When the pork did arrive it was an end-piece that was 90% fat and had to be sent back. No professional kitchen should have put this on a plate. The Asparagus salad contained an avocado (one of the main ingredients) that was unripe and inedibly firm, to the extent that it was hard to believe whoever had prepared it could have been unaware of the fact. The horseradish cream was notable chiefly for the absence of horseradish, and likewise had to be sent back. I can of course accept that kitchens have off-days and mistakes happen. However, I would expect waiting staff to be able to identify and acknowledge when a table has experienced numerous culinary errors in one sitting, and to proactively offer an apology or some concessions in recognition of this fact. Unfortunately, this did not happen and we found them to be sometimes abrupt, and in general quite disinterested in the issues we had experienced. This did not make me want to rush back. This is a nice pub with a good ambiance, and under new management appears to have high aspirations for the quality of the experience it delivers. However, the food and the level of service cannot continue to misfire at the same time if it hopes to realise these ambitions.

Just had lunch at the Andover Arms; what a truly special place this is! A great room with Luke and Suzanne’s warm friendly welcome, an excellent Guinness to savour the menu; six perfect oysters first, then a crab salad, nose to tail pork, avocado with asparagus and that monkfish with pancetta?! Wowwwww! And a Lavender Panacotta and the best Flat White ive had! Thank you both for a great meal and i look forward to trying the steak very soon!!

One of the best Sunday dinners we've had vegetarian options and meat. Good choice of drinks and lovely decor. Would go again

Just like expected: food, beer, music not bad...

Had Sunday lunch at this Fuller's pub and oh my it was incredible.l! The oyster was fresh, pork belly was beautifully cooked with the crackling perfectly crispy and the pork just melt in your mouth tender. Everything about the meal was excellent and I really couldn't fault it. Definitely coming back here again another day!

Great traditional pub with kitchen attached. Good selection of beers and great ambience. Lovely wee pub - one of Brackenburys best wee finds.

Stopped by for Sunday roast on my way to the airport to finish off my London vacation and it might just have been my favourite meal of the trip! Very friendly and competent staff, lovely interior and the roast itself was top-notch.

Sunday Roast was worth the visit! Love thier doggo friendliness

Great pub, nice beer and food offering is impressive. Has vegan options too.

Love this pub - interiors are gorgeous, front of house are lovely. Nice atmosphere. Food is pretty ‘meh’ though and at the price point they’re offering - it’s just not worth it. I’ll be back for drinks but not the food.

Nice food, Decent price and lovely staff. I would recommend

Very nice community pub. With a very nice atmosphere, All are welcome, including kids & Dogs. The food was very nice as well.

Love this place! Support your local! Roast dinner is amazing, great beers and wines, all accompanied by super service!

Ottimo cibo inglese in un Pub non turistico

A very cosy pub with exceptionally friendly staff.

Loved the food, atmosphere and service.

Didn’t think we could love the Andover Arms any more, but after a beautiful Christmastime Sunday roast - we do! Our favorite pub in London.

We had a fantastic Christmas lunch at the Andover Arms in 2022. The staff were warm and welcoming and the food was fantastic. Five courses, after a glass of champagne was the perfect way to celebrate Christmas. We were never rushed, the courses came at perfect intervals and the atmosphere was intimate yet nicely lively. Thank you for a fabulous afternoon.

Beautiful pub, great food, friendly staff. Lovely cost environment on a cold day (when I was there!)

Perfect birthday dinner at the Andover Arms. Just reopened pub in this neighborhood. Very nicely decorated . Friendly staff and good service. But the most important: good food in a lovely atmosphere.

Bar manager is a diamond. Loved it

Had a fantastic meal here yesterday: lovely starters (shared roast squash, game terrine), ace burger and fine bottle of red. It's a lovely bar as well. Thank you!

Has had a recent refurb, however it's a cashless venue which has meant many locals have gone elsewhere, staff get annoyed having to walk food through the bar standers because their kitchen door is on the other side of the pub. Small issues which could be easily resolved to make a better community pub.

Great food and excellent service

Extremely disappointing. We came for a Sunday lunch and the only option beside roast was fish and chips. They wouldn't make mash for our toddler. We ordered roast beef and needed a steak knife to cut it (one third we couldn't eat at all). Gravy was just water and roast potatoes as hard as rocks. Wine selection minimal and quality poor. Yet we were charged gastro pub prices (23.5 for the roast and 8-9 for a medium glass of wine - they don't even do large). It was freezing cold and they had run out of 3 out of 4 dessert wines on the menu. For the locals and regulars to the OLD Andover, with top quality pies and roasts (including an amazing lamb shank that would melt in your mouth), lovely wines and generally good variety, high quality food... just DON'T come here again or you'll be highly disappointed. Staff were very nice, bless them.

Cozy athmosphere, good food, super nice staff. Love it!

Très bon pub et personnel très sympa

Simply beautiful and delicious 😋

A lovely little pub with the best food I've had.

Michelin-star food in this cosy, bustling pub.

Very good... A true Hammersmith local and hidden gem of a London pub and you'll have to go and find out for yourself how good the place really is... Now under new management (November 2022) thank you Helder and Suzanne for the invite to the opening night and wishing you a super busy Christmas season... Looking forward to visiting and seeing you again. Jh

Had a fantastic Sunday afternoon in the newly reopened and refurbished pub. The team were very friendly and helpful, the roast beef was perfect and the chocolate fondant dessert was to die for. Highly recommend and we will be back very soon.

Lovely service, great food. Would recommend

Food okay nothing special staff as miserable as sin.

Went there today after it changed hands. We used to go a lot being so local and we were huge fans of the food and service, wasn’t quite the same. They ran out of roasts (not the biggest deal - these things happen) but the food really wasn’t great - not sure how you go wrong with a burger and bangers and mash. We will give it another go soon - hopefully it will be a better experience.

Great local pub, nice people, quiet. Not much choice in beers, but good small selection

This place is incredible and Joseph and his team make you feel welcome and lime its your home pub! Highly recommend!

Little piece of joy on a Sunday

Great food and lovely quaint hidden gem

Nice little pub off the beaten track, run properly.

This used to be a good pub but looking tired now with empty picture hooks on the walls and tired decor. Went there for dinner a few days ago and the staff were disinterested and very slow. Noone asked how the food was, offered a dessert menu or even said a simple thank you when we paid. Lacking even the basics.. Perhaps it was an unlucky experience but rather a depressing one. Won't be back in a hurry.

We googled best roast in North West and here we are truly enjoying the best roast beef and lamb!! Delicious brownie desert! A must try :)

A "proper local". Cosy, great food, decent selection of beers.

A family member booked a table here at Christmas and unfortunately had to cancel the table once he tested positive. Despite us keeping the pub fully abreast, they insisted on keeping the deposit rather than allowing us to use it as a credit and encouraging us to rebook for January which we would have gladly done. Short sighted management and too much attention to £ without thinking of how customers feel or would gladly spend more to repay.

Cosy pub with lovely helpful staff
